Just like the old models. Click and hold changes intensity and double tap goes to strobe.

Hi Mathew, I don't think there is a low beam mode but there is a strobe, and you just cycle the on/off quick. Hope this help.

The only way to change the high to low beams is by holding the switch down. Unfortunately, it starts in High every time :-/

On this model it doesn't have the strobe feature. The DS C4 stinger has the strobe feature, that u double click the power button to strobe. If u hold the button down u can change the light brightness.

You click once for the standard beam. Then just one click to turn it off. Two quick clicks turns on the strobe light.

Mash the button down one time to give you bright. To change to the lower intensities hold the button down and it should change to a lower setting. Keep holding it down and it will change to the dimmer setting. To have it strobe, mash the button quickly 2 times and it should strobe. If I can help in any way I will be glad to do so.

You go quickly on and off for the strobe but you hold on the button and the light will cycle through medium and low, if you want the medium just let go of the button but then repeat the procedure once the light is off.
9873
You have to cycle through every time. To get to dim, you have to turn the flashlight on and hold the power button down, it will go to medium then dim. Strobe you turn it on, then off, then on again within a few seconds. Wish you could set the brightness but you can't.

It only has the high mode. Push the button to turn on, push again to turn off. You can partially push the button for momentary on, and release to turn off. It is a very nice bright light, which I mostly use for mechanic work. It is very bright for it's size, which was exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't understand how weapons lights could be so bright, yet so compact, so i found this one. It works great. The CR123 batteries are expensive locally, but are reasonable on-line. Battery life is better than I expected, not sure how many hours. It has an adjustable ring to go from spot to floodlight. I bought a second one. Highly recommend. It only has the high mode.

No. The Stinger upgrade is not compatible. If you have the M6 combo light+laser, you can upgrade to the Insight Technology LED unit. The LED is so bright that it may be difficult to see the laser dot. You also can adjust the light beam from 'flood' to 'spot'.

The modes change with each button press in the following sequence starting witth OFF: ON (solid)-OFF-ON (FAST BLINK)-OFF-ON(SOS pattern)-OFF. However, the flashlight can act erratic sometimes as it isn't 100% repeatable depending upon how quickly the button is pressed. I believe the control feature is fairly unsophisticated and as a result the function is somewhat indeterminate. I haven't used mine for long periods of time so I can't speak to the long term reliability of the bulb, but when its on it is extremely bright. I hope this helps.

Why does anyone think people want more than 1 mode on their flashlight?! Seriously, I have NEVER needed my flashlight to flicker annoyingly, or needed a dim flashlight. The different modes are nothing but a pain!

I guess it depends on what you mean by "adjustable beam". The beam has two brightness levels but the focus cannot be adjusted (i.e., it does not adjust from spot to flood). The strobe feature has to be intentionally selected, otherwise it's just a high or low brightness. Instructions are included for permanently deactivating the strobe feature so that you don't accidentally turn it on. You can reactivate the strobe feature if you ever decide you want to use it.

On mine if you press the button all the way in and release it the flashlight turns on and off at the same setting. If you press the button halfway in it changes modes. I just put it on the brightest mode and then make sure to press the button all the way in when turning it off and on so it stays in the same mode.

Using the off/on button at the rear of the flashlight, turn it on. Then slightly depress the button the to change settings. I too, had a problem figuring that one out. Great flashlight for the price.

No.The units I've purchased thru TangsFire, if you hold the switch "off" for just a second, it remembers the last setting. If you click it off quickly, it seems to turn on to the next setting. I have not been able to find these thu the Ultrfire website, and there is some differences in the beam from flashlight to flashlight. There is also a 3 mode available that did not remember the last setting so be sure you know what you are buying.

It has five modes including strobe and SOS. It has one button to turn on/off and to cycle through the modes. I have a couple of these and just push the button until I get the one I want. It is a good bargain but less controllable than say my Fenix ld-41 which has seperate on/off and mode buttons.

To my knowledge, there is no way to keep it at one mode. Every time you will need to scroll through the different modes until you get to the right one. This is one reason that I was so upset that it is a 5 mode instead of the 3 mode as advertised because you may have to press the button as many times as 5 just to get the light to be on the mode you want.

No, it turns off between mode and mode. Eg.High beam, onTurn off, turn on: medium beam on,Turn off, turn on: low beam on. It goes like that for the next flash and SOS mode.

The beam is fixed but has three different modes where you can change the order in which they cycle with the push of the button on the end of the unit. Out of the box the modes in order are: High Lumen, Flashing, Low Lumen

You can change the angle of the light every 10 degrees or so. You really only need to aim them straight though. They are super bright

Each mode (low, medium, and high) has a sub mode and a memory. The sub mode is programmable by you. In high mode you will have the standard high of 900 lumens. You have a sub mode in high that is programmable of varying brightness levels but all are lower than 900. Basically in high mode you have a high-high and and low-high. If you run the high-high of 900 lumens, after 5 minutes it will switch to your low-high to keep from overheating. Aside from that switch, all settings are continuous because the outputs are regulated. There is a memory in effect in which what ever of the 2 modes in low, medium, or high you last used, that will be the output level that will turn on by default the next time you use that mode. So if you dont want 900 lumens every time you switch to high but a little bit dimmer, than switch to the secondary mode in high and when you turn off the light or switch to a different mode, when you come back to high it will be in the secondary brightness setting by default. You can easily switch it back to 900 by double clicking while in high. The brightest programmable secondary mode in high doesn't visually appear much dimmer than 900 lumens. You will notice it when you compare the two side by side but if you haven't turned the light on high in a while you will probably forget if its in the primary or secondary mode. It sounds confusing on paper but once you see or use it, it will all make sense. I hope this helps.

There's a grey rubber membrane built into the left side turret (battery compartment) that's used to control the dot. With the dot turned off, pressing down on the button (ie: the membrane, as the actual switch is inside the scope, under the battery) once will turn the dot on at the last used brightness level. Tapping the button repeatedly will cycle through the various brightness levels (High to low, then low to high before repeating), with the dot flashing when you hit the maximum and minimum brightness settings. Holding the same button down for about 4 seconds will turn the dot off. Side note - As of this post, the image on the main product page for this scope is not for the correct model, but the thumbnail shown from a search of Amazon is correct.

Sorry, can't help you with your problem, I bought this 9X TrustFire, but the seller sent me a different brand (CrazyFire) and it was bad from the start, there were only 3 modes instead of 5, hi-med-low and then it switched off when it tried to go to the next mode which I think it's S.O.S. I returned the flashlight.
